This has yet to be decided.  I have a vague architecture in my head and 
if it firms up and works out you would be able to create your own and 
process them.  I think it's safe to say we'd support the transport 
protected password context and likely the IP based one (lots of people 
still want this).

Shibboleth *is* an SSO system.  Our goal is to allow people to integrate 
a Shib IdP with their existing SSO system, if they wish.  This will, 
however, look different than the current mechanism as the IdP will be 
much more aware of the authentication process.  However, we are *not* 
committing to developing and releasing integration code with any 
particular third-party SSO system such as CAS or PubCookie.
